The New England Patriots made a series of roster transactions on Tuesday.

New England announced that offensive lineman Brenden Jaimes was signed to the active roster from the practice squad, defensive lineman Joshua Farmer was placed on injured reserve, running back Elijah Mitchell and wide receiver Brandon Smith was signed to the practice squad, and offensive lineman Sebastian Gutierrez was released from the practice squad — which might be the heftiest shuffle made all season.

Jaimes, 26, becomes an extremely valuable piece after injuries — Jared Wilson (concussion), Morgan Moses (knee) and Thayer Munford Jr. (knee) — caused major shuffling...

Like many NFL fans, Rob Gronkowski spent the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s game looking for Derrick Henry.

The star running back tallied 128 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 16 clash, but the Baltimore Ravens curiously stopped using him down the stretch. Henry didn’t garner a single touch after finding the end zone with 12:50 remaining, and the New England Patriots erased an 11-point deficit to clinch a playoff spot with a 28-24 road win.

Gronkowski questioned Baltimore’s odd strategy on Tuesday’s “Up & Adams.”

“Derrick Henry was absolutely demolishing the secondary, the linebackers. He was getting through...

The New England Patriots pushed their record to 12-3 in Week 16 with a 28-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. The win helped the Pats get back on track after suffering a brutal loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15, and it also officially led to the team clinching a playoff berth.

Throughout the Patriots’ sudden rise to the top of the NFL this season, much has been made over the strength of their schedule, or lack thereof. While New England is playing some great football, it has benefited from playing against a historically weak...

Drake Maye wishes more New England Patriots teammates joined him on the Pro Bowl Games roster.

The NFL named Maye and Christian Gonzalez as England’s two Pro Bowl representatives on Tuesday. Responding to the news in his press conference, via WEEI’s Tom Carroll, the quarterback lamented the team’s lack of honorees.

“I think it’s frustrating for me that guys that put in so much work to a great season, and even have guys that are at the top position in the league, I think respected around the league and viewed that way,” Maye said. “I think it’s just stuff with...

Before the New England Patriots completed a playoff-clinching comeback win on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 16 vs. the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Mike Vrabel made a bold call late in the third quarter that backfired.

With just over two minutes left in the penultimate frame, Vrabel called for a fake punt on fourth-and-10.

Patriots linebacker Marte Mapu received the direct snap and, while looking for someone to throw to, fumbled. New England linebacker Jack Gibbens recovered the loose ball, but the team committed a turnover on downs.

Vrabel discussed the miscue on Tuesday.

“It’s something that we had practiced,...

The New England Patriots have secured their spot in the playoffs. They still have to clinch the AFC East, but staying healthy with the playoffs on the horizon is also important.

Khyiris Tonga exited the Patriots’ game against the Baltimore Ravens in the second quarter. He was originally deemed questionable to return with a foot injury, but was eventually ruled out. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport on Tuesday, Tonga has a “one-or two-week injury.”

Tonga has become an important player for the Patriots on both sides of the ball. He has started the last eight games at defensive tackle,...

New England Patriots star defensive tackle Milton Williams is set to return to the practice field this week. That will begin his 21-day window to be activated off of injured reserve.

“I think we’ll start his [activation] window, see how he responds through the week of practice and go from there,” head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday. “I know he worked extremely hard, off with the strength and conditioning staff, with the training staff and involved in meetings. So, that’s really hard to do, is to be engaged in meetings when you know you’re not going to play and have...

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez earned his first career Pro Bowl honor on Tuesday, while quarterback Drake Maye secured his second straight nod in as many years.

Maye was the overall leader in the fan vote up until the final hours, before Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce passed the North Carolina product.

Patriots cornerback/punt returner extraordinaire Marcus Jones, on the other hand, was a surprising omission.

Despite being tied for the NFL lead with two punt return touchdowns this year (while adding three interceptions and three fumble recoveries), Jones wasn’t among...

The New England Patriots left their win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night with several injury questions. On Tuesday, Mike Vrabel shared some answers with the public.

As the Patriots’ head coach announced during a press conference at Gillette Stadium, running back TreVeyon Henderson, wide receiver Kayshon Boutte and left guard Jared Wilson are all in concussion protocol.

Henderson, 23, left Sunday’s game in the second quarter after he fell over backwards to end a short run. He was checked out on the field by members of the Patriots’ medical staff as well as Vrabel himself, and after a...

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel revealed on Tuesday that three players were in the concussion protocol leading up to Week 17 vs. the New York Jets.

The good news, however, is that one of the team’s best defenders is on the mend.

“#Patriots DL Milton Williams will practice this week, his first week of being eligible to come off IR, per Mike Vrabel,” Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald posted on Bluesky.

Defensive tackle Milton Williams has missed the last four games after being placed on injured reserve with an ankle ailment on Nov. 15.

“DT Milton Williams...

The New England Patriots have locked up another member of their 2026 free agency class. After already keeping cornerback Marcus Jones from the open market back in October, they have now also taken care of offensive lineman Ben Brown.

Scheduled to enter restricted free agency next offseason, Brown and the Patriots reached an agreement on a two-year extension through 2027. The deal carries a maximum value of $6.6 million with a base “closer to $5 million,” according to a report by Mike Reiss of ESPN.

Brown, 27, originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals...

The New England Patriots’ comeback win against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16 was costly.

Among the slew of injured Patriots during the contest were left guard Jared Wilson, running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said on Tuesday that each member of the trio is currently in the concussion protocol, putting their availability for Sunday’s Week 17 game vs. the New York Jets in jeopardy.

“LG Jared Wilson, RB TreVeyon Henderson and WR Kayshon Boutte are in concussion protocol, per Mike Vrabel,” ESPN’s Mike Reiss posted on Bluesky.

Wilson has already missed two...
